who wants to help set up a computer to drive a public display? a reliable,
low-power desktop machine that can auto-power-on is the bare minimum, and then
some remote-access software that can facilitate non-technical people with
updating the slideshow that it displays
this is an exciting Omni-wide infrastructure that we should enjoy!

Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] flat screen monitor for entrance hall
I would be willing to help with that, i love infrastructure like that. I can
help install a computer that feeds images to it, and help people learn how to
update the images whether they're local or remotely.
I can also probably find a replacement TV screen for after the first one stops
working or disappears, i know where to get more.

Hi everyone!
Last week's meeting was a big one: we have two Sudoroom proposals, four new
member applications, and an Omni Commons Proposal under consideration. (Meeting
notes are available here <https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting-keep>)
Each of these will get their own email so that the conversations don't get
crossed, and then all concerns expressed will be addressed at the next
meeting (on Weds. 4/13 at 8 PM!). If you have any questions about the
consideration and consensus process, share them in this email.
Here is a list of everything under consideration:
1) Community Liberation Programs has applied to join Omni Commons.
2) I'd like to establish a statement of purpose and code of conduct
3) I'd like to establish working groups for critical functions
4) Arthur has applied for Sudoroom membership
5) Eva has applied for Sudoroom membership
6) PWM has applied for Sudoroom membership
7) PB has applied for Sudoroom membership
Please share your thoughts on these in their email chains and come to next
week's meeting (Wednesday, April 13th from 8 PM - 9 PM) to revise, reject,
or adopt these proposals.
Cheers,
*Andrew R Gross, (he/him)*

Hey all!
I will be hosting JavaScript Thursdays tonight! Come on down for some JS
fun. See the blurb below:
You are invited to attend JavaScript Thursdays at Sudoroom! We will gather
online/in-person from 6pm to 9pm every thursday!
JavaScript Thursdays at Sudoroom is a space where people can come and
receive individualized help with learning JavaScript in whatever way best
serves them. We can pair program on a new project, fix a bug together, talk
about different aspects of the language or its associated
libraries/frameworks, or whatever else.
Your host is Charles Hughes. I have been a full time JS developer in the
bay area for over eight years. I have expertise in many JS technologies
including React, Redux, Angular, Node, Ramda, Apollo, D3, TypeScript, and
more. I am a white, assigned male at birth, non-binary person with class
privilege. I welcome and encourage people to call me in.
Javascript Thursdays strives to be a welcoming, inclusive, anti-racist
space for people of all races, genders, orientations, and abilities. The
safety of marginalized people will be prioritized.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't
get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! We don’t always hear
the doorbell. Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great
way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
To keep up to date with sudoroom, join the mailinglist!

when you join!
Hope to see you there! ~Charles
Hi everyone,
you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email
list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for
those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of
any means you can invoke.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the
telescreen.
Jenny put it on the Omni calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/
that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway
because of diminishing returns :)
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with
each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!

This should be holding files, possibly code? i'm not sure that can't get up
on the wiki
https://github.com/sudoroom/Light-projection-projects
disclosure - i think i hacked the sudoroomgithub io a few years ago, so it
has this gross slider - was that me?
http://sudoroom.github.io
probably will redo it!

OK hear me out -- this idea is super cheesy but as I become middle aged
(have been) I've been going to a lot of interior design spaces as I
populate my yuppie apartment.
what do you guys think of making an experimental interior design/ museum
display section at SudoRoom. It could be someone practicing the craft of
interior design alongside a bookcase with "member recommended" books or a
weird ancient electronics equipment where someone writes a cool history.
surely there are people who do interior design that are creative but don't
want to make stuff that's mass market. Usually the folks who do something
creative have to design stuff for rich people. This is the kind of stuff
cool rich people would order:
https://www.roche-bobois.com/en-US/mag/bubble-design-sacha-lakic.html
surely there must be a way to make fun spaces in a cheap way.
This could even be a space for set designers, the kind of people who work
in theater. Hmm... I mean ok this idea is very labor intensive but maybe I
can try to give a spin at it. It would maybe not even be about interior
design but more about designing museum installation art.

the front door computer is unreachable, because some network switch between
it and the server is not working right i guess... either one of the switches
upstairs (in the "public computer lab") or something in the network cage.
I had to leave before i was able to figure out what was wrong and I can't
access the front door computer from theh network, so I don't know whether card
access will work although now that i think about it, it probably does work.
the wifi was being really really really slow tonight (thursday night) and
Arthur and I were trying to figure out what was wrong, and Yar and Marc helped
remotely, but we never figured out where the problem was, and I didn't realize
until i had to leave that the front door computer is entirely inaccessible.
$ ping 100.64.64.11
"No route to host"
even though i power cycled it and it's getting a link light. I don't actually
know where the other end of its ethernet cable is but since the front door
computer is important to security and accessibility, this worries me.
Can someone who understands the building's network please try to fix this ASAP?
